Goalkeepers: Fraser Forster (Celtic), Ben Foster (West Bromwich Albion), Joe Hart (Manchester City), John Ruddy (Norwich City). Defenders: Leighton Baines (Everton), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Steven Caulker (Cardiff City), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Luke Shaw (Southampton), Chris Smalling (Manchester United), Kyle Walker (Tottenham Hotspur). Midfielders: Ross Barkley (Everton), Michael Carrick (Manchester United), Tom Cleverley (Manchester United), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Adam Lallana (Southampton), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), James Milner (Manchester City), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal), Raheem Sterling (Liverpool), Andros Townsend (Tottenham Hotspur), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal). Forwards: Jermain Defoe (Toronto FC), Rickie Lambert (Southampton), Jay Rodriguez (Southampton), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool), Daniel Welbeck (Manchester United). What does Davies / Huddlestone have to do??? Cleverley and Caulker FFS
To be fair its with good reason for his obsession with us, in a few years half the team will have come from our academy
I never understand the mentality of our managers. Cole not playing for Chelsea, Cleverley been a crock of ****, Caulker playing in the worst defence in the Prem! No wonder England fans are never optimistic
I don't care that much about International football, but this has just killed it completely for me almost to the point of wanting us to fail so the whole set up gets changed from youth upwards. 4 GK's is stupid we will likely only use 1 anyway 1 back up should be enough nevermind 3 Caulker just conceded 4 goals to us and is in a defense that is struggling Cole not playing therefore shouldn't be selected Cleverley do I need to explain that one? Townsend hasn't been playing regular football due to injury shouldn't be selected Defoe no regular football shouldn't be selected/playing in a rubbish league shouldn't be selected
Couldn't agree more, not only that it makes me very angry. What is Caulker doing there when we have Chester and Davies better than him?
How the **** do Smalling and Cleverley keep getting called up? Do they have incriminating photos of Roy or something?
To be honest, I'm not even annoyed that none of our players are in the team. It's the sheer fact that a certain few can be playing ****, or not at all, yet still get picked EVERY TIME! I dont know why Hodgson comes to watch any matches, the squad clearly isnt picked on merit.
Their won't be any debate with pundits nationally on how Cleverley and Smalling made it, they'll all say Caulker deserves a call up, but worst of all, nobody will even hint that Davies deserved a call up, he's been criminally underrated by everybody not of a Hull City persuasion, they all assume Huddlestone's been our best player, when he really hasn't.
Nothing against Caulker, a young player who will improve, but he's an ever present in a Cardiff defence that's leaked 48 goals in 27 games. How can you justify him over Davies?
Fifth best defence in the league that is usually around 60-75% English and yet no one picked, I can accept we are biased but those stats speak for themselves.
Roy "Anybody who's seen Shaw recently will agree he deserves his place" By the same thinking, what the **** is Smalling doing in there?
Its just a shame you can't keep hold of them! Your academy is brilliant, but I'd rather see the players it produces playing for you not the highest bidder.
The FA ‏@FA 54s Roy Hodgson says this 30-man squad is by no means final: "This isn't a definitive squad. A lot of football to be played between now and May" He better be telling the ****ing truth.
